I have been able to reproduce this on e.g. Ubuntu 9.10 and FC10. The only reason I can think of that you might not be able reproduce this is that some applications don't actually pause when you hit Ctrl-Z. E.g. with gedit, if gedit is already running then running gedit again will just send a message to the existing gedit process to open a new tab and so pressing Ctrl-Z on the terminal won't freeze the main process. Here is the precise process I use to reproduce bug 6597 0) Notice that LyX normally takes a couple of seconds to start 1) Open a terminal 2) Make sure gedit isn't running 3) Type "gedit" 4) In Gedit type "asdf" 5) Copy the "asdf" text you just typed 6) Make sure you *can* paste the asdf text you just typed. 7) Go to the terminal and press Ctrl-Z, stopping gedit. 8) Make sure you *cannot* paste asdf 9) Run lyx (branch will do) 10) Notice that LyX now takes over a minute to start up. 11) Notice that LyX requires over a minute to display the "Edit" menu. Does this sequence reproduce the bug for you? If not is it step (8) or (10/11) that you cannot reproduce? -- John C. McCabe-Dansted
